Overnight trip on the Mekong Delta on board a wooden tradiotional vietnam rice barge. Accomadation was basic in a small twin room and we were advised to only take on board a small overnight bag. Ensuite bathroom with shower where water drained straight through the floor. All perfectly adequate to experience insight into region. Lunch and evening meal were superb... More

Just enjoyed a 2 days cruise on the basac boat. Eveything was perfectly organized with a chic french touch. Small boat with plenty of personal attention. Delicious food, warm fresh baguette and croissants at sunrise. We visited a local farm and could learn about all the different fruits they cultivate and how they live. We even helped the kids with...

Note there is more than one Bassac boat, I think we were on boat 3, which is one of the newest. We were advised to pack an overnight bag and to leave our larger cases with our tour operator since the cabins are relatively small. We had 2 rooms (4 travelling together) on the lower deck with views out over... More

We booked a Bassac Boat through Smile Tourist and we very happy with everything. The junk, the food etc were perfect. We were aware that we had to pay for our drinks on board however we were not advised that this was To be in cash. Perhaps Bassac can advise everyone that this is a requirement. More

We cruised up the Mekong from Ho Chi Minh City to Chau Doc aboard this fantastic boat with an overnight on board. It was a a fantastic experience passing villages along the banks and eating remarkable food at mealtimes. The trip round the floating markets in the morning was incredible and gave a true insight into the lives of those... More

The food was fantastic, the crew brilliant ( especially Angie our guide!), the off boat excursions fun and interesting and cruising was just a visual extravaganza!! We couldn't recommend more highly. We did 24... More

We had an overnight on the Bassac 1, the smallest of their "fleet", as part of a 2 week Travel Collection/Kuoni tour of Vietnam. Our party consisted of 10 people, who were initially strangers, but by the time the Mekong Cruise came around, were a comfortable and relaxed group of new friends. We were fortunate that we had the 6... More

This whole experience was the highlight of my 2 week trip to Vietnam. We were on the smallest Bassac, 6 cabins and 6 crew. The staff were wonderful, especially our guide who had great English and was very interesting and knowledgeable for 21 years old. The cabin was compact but very suitable for an overnight stay for 2 adults, the... More

My husband and I like a boat trip and whilst it was initially disappointing that we could not charter the whole of the smaller boat even 8 months in advance, the experience was very good. The staff were friendly, the service excellent and the food was also very good. Even the very loud family who brought their insolent teenagers with... More
